Choosing steel roller shutters for premises in Ilford
Steel resists cutting and impact better than foam-filled aluminium, which suits higher-risk premises. Deep steel guide rails and wind locks keep wide steel curtains in place in high winds.
Galvanised steel laths are zinc coated to protect against rust, and can be powder coated on top. Galvanised finishes are practical but plain, so many shopfronts choose a powder-coated colour.
Features to choose from
- Powder coating available over galvanising
- Insulated steel options
- Deep guide rails and wind locks for wide openings
- Galvanised steel laths, single or double-skin
- Bottom-rail locks and anti-lift
- Stronger motors, springs and gearboxes

Rules in England
Planning permission for shopfront shutters
In England an external shutter on a shopfront is usually treated as development that needs planning permission from the local planning authority, and a listed building also needs listed building consent. Many councils' shopfront design guides favour internal shutters, perforated or open-grille designs and boxes hidden behind the fascia, and some refuse solid external shutters in conservation areas and on main shopping streets.

Your questions answered
Do you cover Ilford?
Yes. Ilford (IG1) is within our Greater London coverage, along with nearby Barking, Becontree and Leytonstone.
Is steel more secure than aluminium?
Generally yes. Steel laths are harder to cut and dent, which is why steel is used for industrial and higher-risk premises. For independently tested resistance, look for an LPS 1175 rating.
Can a steel shutter have a door in it?
Yes, industrial steel shutters can include a wicket door so people can enter without raising the whole curtain.
Will a steel shutter rust?
Galvanising protects the steel, and powder coating adds a further layer. Scratches and damage should be touched up so moisture cannot reach bare metal.
Are your prices fixed?
Yes. After the survey you get a written price for the agreed specification, confirmed before anything is ordered or any work starts. If you change the specification, or a hidden problem such as a weak lintel is found during fitting, we price it and agree it with you before carrying on.
Can I get a quote from photos?
Photos and approximate sizes let us give you a guide price quickly. A survey is still needed before a shutter is made, because it is built to exact measurements.
